Super bowl sunday

Unfortunately, we have been fighting colds, croup, ear infections, and even the flu bug in our house lately. Our big superbowl plans consisted of staying in our jammies! The kids watched some Sunday morning cartoons before the cleaning began. Madison really wanted to help, such a sweet girl! Max helped entertain Matthew with a new toy. It was a very productive day, and now I hope all of these things go away!!!

Projects

The kids enjoyed working with their new play-doh sets from Robin. Max took a long time making little toppings for the pizza shop and both girls also enjoyed drilling and filling cavities in the Dentist kit. The heart shape boxes are from the Home Depot Kids' Workshop this weekend.

Sledding with the Bauer's

Our friends, the Bauer's, stopped by for some sledding after school one day. Everything is more fun with 10 kids!!!! Max even made a bunch of snow angels...he loved checking them out after he was done. Hoping for a little more snow this winter to build our infamous igloo!

Some more fun times in Jan.

Here are some WI sports fan enjoying floor time with Matthew. A picture of Madison's music program from school (middle left in white sweater). She did a fantastic job and got lots of compliments :) She is doing amazing writing and reading. I found the family one in her room, and she showed me a book full of others, like the one about loving her sister. Absolutely priceless! I had to laugh at the jumperoo pic...even baby exercise equipment gets turned into clothes hangers!!!!

Sled party

We had a couple of families over to sled after that first bigger snowfall. Max had done a face plant, and decided to sit and eat snow the entire time instead of sledding! Everyone else enjoyed the fast sledding, and the kids even loved to make the lilac bush into a snowball tree! Matthew enjoyed his first sled ride, too!

Snow fun!

Max and Macy were able to enjoy some snow together outside early January. They even started to shovel. It didn't last that long, but it was cute to watch :)

Badger faces and other fun

Here a few pics from the beginning of Jan. (harder to keep up lately)!
The girls sported Badger sticker tattoos for the big game...I just wish it would've brought more luck to the Badgers :(
The kids put on a play for me one day. I will try to download it...I finally stopped them after 5 minutes).
Max was testing out the girls' bracelets as hoop earrings...silly guy!
I love the matching little/big brother shirts on the boys.
We don't often find Macy missing from her bed, but if we do, she is usually found in Madison's bed!
